Physical copies of Heavensward from SE Store

To be quite honest, the only reason they have different priorities of shipping is to help alleviate congestion. It is not so you will get the product faster. Everyone will be getting the game at the roughly the same time whether you paid for 1 day shipping or the cheapest week long shipping.

The extra money you may or may not have payed isn't actually going to SE but to UPS as the fee to them for priority shipping. While it may help for some things like replacement parts, etc., its absolutely useless when it comes to a preorder where everyone is supposed to get it at the same time. You aren't going to get the preoder 4-5 days earlier than anyone else.

It just helps SE send out groups of packages which are more manageable by the carrier UPS. They are not going to send the product to UPS early, they are going to sent it so you get it either in time for early access (if required) or the game launch.

Snip.

This here makes sense.

I had thought I chose the longer shipping time, but I apparently got two day shipping for some reason (since my friend and I went with whatever was cheapest, maybe we were drunk that day). Totally side-eying it now since I end up being anxious for my email telling me it's shipped. I live on the west coast of Canada, so I shouldn't be too worried with two day shipping on top of it, just very high amounts of anticipation upon hearing people getting notified of shipping.
